I remember that movie. Jack Lemmon was such a talented actor and had a distinguished film career. One of many good films he was in along with "Some Like It Hot, The Odd Couple, The Fortune Cookie, and Grumpy Old Men."

I have seen it many times and it is awesome. I have also seen the remake and you're right. It's not nearly as good as the first one. It is a true classic.
